Gaza aid flotilla from Tunisia delayed
The departure from Tunisia of pro-Palestinian activists seeking to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza with aid boats has been postponed, according to organisers.
It was planned for Sunday, but organisers said they rescheduled the boats’ departure from Tunis to Wednesday, September 10, due to “technical and logistical reasons beyond management’s control”.
The Maghreb Sumud Flotilla, which aimed to join boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla that had already left from Spain and Italy, had already been delayed by bad weather.
Global Sumud Flotilla marks death anniversary of activist killed in West Bank
The Global Sumud Flotilla is marking the first death anniversary of Turkish American Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli forces during a protest against illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
In a social media post, the organisers said Aysenur and “hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and allies have been killed by the Israeli government and occupation over the decades, and they’ve done so with total impunity”.
“We understand that our safety and freedom as humanity are bound to that of Palestine, and we choose action, just as Aysenur did,” it said. “As we sail for Palestine, she is with us.”
The flotilla described its mission as sailing to Gaza to break the siege on behalf of those “massacred while standing for humanity and just peace” and said it views the journey as “a statement against genocide”.
